An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
Figure t shows an example in which a ballpoint pen is used as the writing instrument. In FIG. 1, 1 is a writing instrument body, and inside this body 1, a ballpoint pen lead 2 is attached to a support member 3.
It is swingably supported by. Furthermore, an electronic circuit is provided within the main body 1, the details of which will be described later. However, in the above-mentioned core 2, the ink storage portion is constituted by an insulating portion, and the tip portion is configured to have a small diameter. It is designed to be derived as follows. That is,
A knock button 5 is provided on the curved part of the main body 1.
By operating this knock button 5, the tip of the lead 2 is moved into the through hole 4.
It is designed to be led out to the outside of the main body or housed inside the main body. Further, a display section 6 is provided along the longitudinal direction on the outer circumferential surface of the main body l, and a clip 7 is provided along the longitudinal direction.
is provided. The display section 6 is made up of dot display electrodes, and can display alphabetic characters, kana characters, etc., and in some parts, for example, the translation mode "E←J" from Japanese to English, and from English to Japanese. The translation mode rg-+ and TJ can be displayed. Furthermore, on the inner wall of the main body 1, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, three pressure sensitive elements such as pressure sensitive rubbers 8a to 8C whose resistance value changes depending on the pressure and an elastic member 9 are placed at a predetermined interval so as to be in sliding contact with the small diameter portion 2a of the core 2. They are arranged in concentric circles. When viewed from the upper end side of the main body 1, the dry rubbers 8a to 8C and the elastic member 9 are arranged at symmetrical positions with respect to the position of the clip 7 while maintaining an angle of 90 degrees with respect to each other. Therefore, the pressure sensitive rubbers 8a and 8b are arranged at an angle of 45 degrees on the left and right sides of the clip 7, respectively. The pressure-sensitive rubbers 8a to 8C are provided with electric wires at both ends thereof in contact with the inner wall of the tab body 1 and the core 2. However, the resistance value of the pressure sensitive rubbers 8a to 8c changes depending on the pressure applied during the recording, and the change is as follows.

5”. That is, "1" indicates the diagonally downward left direction where pressure is applied only to the pressure sensitive rubber 8a due to the writing action, "2" indicates the direction directly below where pressure is applied to both pressure sensitive rubbers 8a and 8b, and
"3" indicates the diagonally lower right direction where pressure is applied only to the pressure sensitive rubber 8b.
, the lateral right direction where pressure is applied to both pressure sensitive rubbers 8b and 8c is defined as "4", and the diagonally upper right direction where pressure is applied only to the pressure sensitive rubber 8C is defined as "5". FIG. 3 shows examples of combination patterns of writing directions "1" to "5" for alphabets and katakana. In this case, the standard pattern is, for example, when there are consecutive numbers such as r1234J and r54321J, the multiple numbers located between them are replaced with the single character "6", and if r1234" is r16
4J, r54321J is compressed as r561J.

Next, the structure of the electronic circuit provided in the main body 1 will be explained with reference to FIG. 4. In the figure, IZ is a switch that is linked to the knock button 5 in FIG. 1, and turns the power supply circuit 12 on and off. The TV, #K pressure output from this m source circuit I2 is supplied to each circuit described later.

Further, 13 is a detection circuit that detects a change in the resistance value of the pressure sensitive rubbers 8a to 8C and outputs a signal of "1" or 1IOI'. The signal is sent to the CPU 15 and is also input to the pulse detection circuit 16. This pulse detection circuit 16 detects the rising edge and falling edge of the output signals T and %T3 of the detection circuit 13, and its output signal is passed through an AND circuit 18 whose gate is controlled by an interrupt slip flop 17. It is input to the interrupt input terminal INTIK of CPIJ15. The clip 70 knob 17 is set or reset by a signal from the CPU 15. Further, the output signal +p, ~T3 of the detection circuit 13 is the OR circuit 1
9 and input to the clear terminal of the timer 20. This timer 20 is for the purpose of outputting a break between input characters, and its operation is started by the set output of the timer flip-flop 2. When φ is counted by a certain number, a carry-1 word is output and inputted to the interrupt input terminal INT2 of the CPU 15.The above-mentioned timer flip-flop 2] is controlled by the CPU 15, and its Q1u11 output is sent to the above-mentioned timer 2o. It is sent as an operation command and is also input to the CPU 75.

It is equipped with ~F. The CPU 15, a pattern memory 22, a Japanese word memory 23, and an English word memory 24 are connected. In the pattern memory 22, character data such as input characters such as the alphabet, katakana, dakuba one-note, semi-one note, etc. shown in FIG. 3, and their symbol fI* patterns are written. There is still Japanese word data in memory 23,
The central language dictionary above ■ 1iill ffl< in memory 24
Address data indicating the address of the word is written.

Further, the English dictionary memory 24 is loaded with English word data and address data indicating the address of the translated word in the Japanese dictionary memory 23. The storage contents of the pattern memory 22 and the first memo IJ 23 and 24 are the address registers a, a2, a3.
CPU 15 according to the address data set in
is read out. The display data output from the CPU 5 is sent to the character generator 25, converted to dot pattern data, and then sent to the data buffer 25.

“i (Notification of completion, completion of translation, etc.) is performed.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. When inputting characters, the knock button 5 of the writing instrument shown in FIG. At this time, the switch 11 of the electronic circuit shown in the 41st cell provided in the main body 1 is turned on, and the power supply circuit 12 outputs an operating voltage to each circuit. Then, when a desired character is written with the writing instrument with the clip 7 facing forward, pressure is applied to the pressure sensitive rubbers 8a to 8C in accordance with the writing operation, and this causes resistance of the pressure sensitive rubbers 8a to 8c. The value changes and character data is input. That is, in FIG. 4, when the resistance values of the pressure sensitive rubbers 8a to 8c change,
The detection circuit 13 detects this state and outputs detection signals T1 to T3.

In the case of the letter rAJ, the first stroke is in the diagonally downward left direction in FIG. 2nd stroke is diagonally downward to the right, or "3"
Pressure is applied only to the pressure sensitive rubber 8c in the direction of , and the signal T2
Then, the third stroke is in the right lateral direction, pressure is applied to both Ii & pressure rubbers 8b and 8c,
The signals T, , T, both become 1". The output signals T, %T, of the detection circuit 13 are sent to the CPU via the input port 14.
15 and is inserted into register X. In this case, the first digit x of register X is the signal TI, and the second digit X2 is the signal T.
2. Signal T3 is inputted to the third digit , the falling edge is detected, and the pulse detection signal is sent to the interrupt input terminal lNTl of the CPUI 5 via the AND circuit 18.
is input to. The gate of the AND circuit 18 is normally kept open by receiving a "1" signal from the interrupt flip-flop 17. Further, the output of the detection circuit 13 is sent to the timer 20 as a clear signal via an OR circuit 19. When the 11111 signal is input to the interrupt input terminal lNTl, the CPU 15 performs the interrupt input process according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, and creates a character pattern in accordance with the character input 7J.

That is, as shown in step A1 of FIG. 6, the CPU 15 first resets the interrupt flip-flop 20, closes the gate of the AND circuit 18, and prohibits further interrupt input. Next, as shown in step 82, it is determined whether or not the timer flip-flop 20 has been reset, and if it has been reset, the process advances to step A3 to set the timer 7 re-flop 20, and then to step A.
Proceed to step 4. If it is determined in step A that the timer flip 70 knob 20 is set, the process directly proceeds to step A4. In step A4, the contents of register Y are carried up by one digit, and then in step A5 (
As shown in FIG. 5(e), a data read command is generated by delaying the interrupt signal by a small amount of time, and the input port 14
The manual data held in is transferred to register X. In this case, the signal T from the detection circuit 13 is
Digit X1, signal T2 is delivered to second digit X2, and fE number T3 is delivered to third digit X3.

After that, the process proceeds to step A7, where Xl of register X is stored.

(Determine whether the contents of 2 digits are (0, 0) or not)! If rL is not [0°0], go to step A8. This step A
8, the contents of Xl, 2 digits of register X are (1, 0),
(1, 1) or (0, 1), and (1

, 1), X of register X in step All
2 Is the content of +3 digits (1, 0,) or (1, 1
, ). If this judgment result is (1, 0), set "3" to register Y in Stesoge A and 2.
In the case of input, rl, and IJ, "4" is written to register Y in C step AI3. If it is determined in step A7 that the contents of X 1 +2 digits of register ”. If the result of this judgment is "1", then "15" is written in the register Y in step Al11, and if the result is "O", the contents of the register Y are lowered by one digit in step A+6. That is, XI of register
121! If all digits are "o", step A4
The contents of register Y, which was carried up in step AI6, are incremented in step AI6 to return to the original state. As described above, register
The contents of the output signals T, ~T3 of the drop detection circuit 13 are judged to determine the direction of "1" to "5" for military input.
Write to register Y. Then go to the step above〇
+ A, IOt Alt + A4s+ Alfi+
After completing the process of Al1, step Al? Then, the interrupt flip-flop 17 is set to prepare for the next input.

On the other hand, while the written input is being performed as described above, the output signals 'r, '-+-'r of the detection circuit 13 are sent to the timer 20 via the OR circuit 19, and the timer 20 is sent to the timer 20 each time.
has been cleared. When only Li input is performed, the timer 20 is not cleared and the clock pulse φ
The counting operation continues. Then, after a certain period of time,
When this happens, the timer 20 also outputs the carry signal shown in FIG. 5(f), and the interrupt input terminal INT2 of the CPUZ5 is output.
is input to. CPtJl s is an interrupt input terminal IN
When the signal from the timer 20 is given to T2, it is determined that the handwriting input for one character has been completed, and the input cover pattern held in the register YK is recognized according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Perform translation processing.

First, in step B1 of FIG. 7, the interrupt 7 lip-flop 17 is reset, and in step B2, the timer clip-flop 2 is reset. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step B3, where the pattern data is compressed. That is, the detection pattern of handwritten input characters is, for example, [123
When numbers are consecutive, such as 4J, r54321, the multiple numbers in the 1st place are replaced with a single character "6". In other words, if the detection pattern is r1234J, replace "23" with "6" and make it r164J, and if the detection pattern is "54321J", replace r432J with "6".
Replace it with r561J. Then step B4
Proceed to and increment the contents of register Y by three digits. Next, the process goes to step B11, and it is determined whether the content of flag F is the language input mode "0" or the Japanese language input mode "1", and if the English input mode is "0", step B6
At step B, the address register Ill is set to "1", and if the Japanese input mode is "1", the atto1/s register a1 is set to "27" at step B. Thereafter, as shown in step B, the pattern memory 22 is accessed using the address data held in the address register a, and the pattern data is read out from the fourth digit Z4 of the register Z and above. Then, in step B, the pattern data released in register Z and the detected pattern data held in register YKfM are compared to
If there is a mismatch, step Bl.

After the contents of the address register a1 are incremented by "+1" in step Bll, it is determined whether the contents of the address register a1 are less than "28" or "281 or more."

As a result of this judgment, if the content of a1 is smaller than "28", the process returns to step B8 and the same operation is repeated.
'', the process proceeds to step B12 and it is determined whether the content of the flag FI is ``1'' or ``0''. Above step BI2
If flag F is determined to be "1", it is determined in step B13 whether the contents of a1 exceed the final address of the pattern memory 22, that is, whether it is smaller than "74" or greater than or equal to "74". If it is smaller than "74", the process returns to step B and the same operation is carried over.

As described above, in the English input mode, the pattern data is read from the English area at addresses "1" to "27" of the pattern card 22 and compared with the detected pattern! bite Ma/Hi, if it is Japanese input mode, “2” in the pattern memory 22
The pattern data is read from the Japanese language area at addresses 7" to 73" and compared with the detected pattern. The "・" stored at address 27 of the pattern memory 22 indicates the delimiter for character input, and is read out in both the English and i input modes and the Japanese manual mode. ing.

If it is determined that the content of the flag F is "0" in step B12, this means that no match has been detected in the English input, so the speaker 27 is turned on as shown in step B14. Be proactive and notify errors. After that, in step B111, registers X and Y are registered.

Clear Z and flag F2. The above flag F2 is a flag for identifying whether the written input is a voiced note or a half-C Shu note; "1" indicates a voiced note, and "2" indicates a half-open note. . And the above step B1
After the processing in step 11 is completed, the process proceeds to step B+a, where the interrupt flip-flop 17 is set to prepare for the next input. Further, in step BIS, if it is determined that the contents of the address register a have become "74" or more, the process advances to step B17, and the contents of the flag F2 are rOJrlJr2J.
Analyze which of the following.

At the beginning, flag F2 is "0", so
Proceeding from step B17 to step BI8, register Z
2nd and 3rd digits Z2,3! Voiced sound pattern data “3
3" into W. Next, in step BI[l, the input cover turn held in register Y is decreased by two digits. After that, in step Elso, flag F2 is set to “1”.
” and return to step B7. And step B
, and then proceeds to step B0, where the pattern data to which the sinus sounds have been added is compared with the detected pattern data.

Then, step B8 to BI3 until a matching output is obtained.
The process is repeated. Therefore, register YK (step B if the detected pattern being held is R4 hemorrhoid),
A matching signal is obtained, but it is a semi-voiced sound! If 7~, there is no match, and the content of address register a is "74".
Step B13 to Step Bl? Proceed to. In this step BI3, the inner world of flag F is judged, but at this point, t and flag F2 have been flagged as "1", so step Bt+ is entered, and registers 1 to 3 of register B are
Write r165J pattern data to digit Z and 2 and 3. That is, the half-voiced note pattern data r561J is inserted into the 3rd to 1st digits of register Z. Next step Bl!
Proceed to and lower the inner world of register Y by 11 digits, and
At step Bts, write r2J to flag F2,
The process proceeds to step B8 via step B7. Then, by repeating steps B and BIB, if the comparison of the pattern data to which the pronunciation has been added and the detected pattern data does not result in a match of the turn data, steps B13 to B13 are performed. Proceed to E3+y and determine the content of flag F2. At this point, the content of flag F2 is "2", so proceed to step BS4 (
An error notification is issued.

Therefore, when a match is detected by comparing the detected pattern data and the matching pattern data, the process goes from step B to step B24, and the pattern memory 22 stores the gearactor for the matching pattern data. The data is leaked and written to the register AK in CPUJS.

The data q° stored in this register A is stored in step B!

If so, proceed to step B28, and the translation end flag F3 is set to "1".
” or not. When this flag F is "0", the internal bounds of register B are increased by one digit as shown in step Bt1, and when flag F3 is "1", "0" is placed in register B as shown in step Bts. At the same time, one "0" is written into the flag F3 in step B2°. Step B when the process of step B27 or step Btu is completed. t and writes the character data held in register A to the first digit B1 of register B. Then step B3. K Buddha, flag F! It is determined whether the detected character is a subtone, a semi-subverb, or another character based on the content of the character. If the above flag F2 is "1", step Bs2VC'lf = raises the internal bounds of register B by one digit, and in step Bss, register B's B1 digit V
(Writes the code for the voiced note "he". If flag F2 is still "2", proceed from step B31 to step B114, increment the contents of register B by one digit, and step B3
．． , put the code for the semi-voiced sound "・" into the 81st digit of register B.

Then, in step BS1 above, the contents of flag F2 are changed to “・
” or when the processing in step Bss TEtas is completed, the process proceeds to step 13aa, where the character data held in register B is transferred to register C, and further, in step Bs7, the inner world of register C is transferred to character data. It is sent to the generator 25. This character generator 25 converts the input data into dot/turn data 4C'1% and sends it to the delta buffer 26.
It is displayed on the display section 6. After that, step f38B
Hey L! fruit,! 27 to notify the end of 6 ninja knowledge. Furthermore, in step B15, registers X, Y
, Z and flag F are cleared, ↓(to, step B
At I6, the interrupt flip-flop 17 is set to prepare for the next input.

Recognition of handwritten input characters is performed as described above, but when performing handwritten input, an input mode is first designated. That is, as shown in Fig. 8, when switching from Japanese input mode to English input mode, write the character "ENG" in katakana, for example, and when switching from English to Japanese input mode, input Enter 741 characters of "Jo" using the alphabet. This t-synthesis, distinguish J
In order to distinguish it from a semi-voiced note, the symbol "・" is placed at a certain time interval from the previous input character, that is, at an interval longer than the time set on the timer counter 20. .If you specify English input mode as above, (
In this case, the input mode "l-E→J" is displayed on the display unit 6 through the process described later, and the input mode "34-, JJ" is displayed for the anastomosis that specifies the Japanese input mode.
The first step in translating words is, for example, ``BOOK''.
When translating English J into Japanese A111, after switching to the English input mode, input the word rBOOKJ, and then input the delimiter ".". For example, English, tl.
Suppose that you input the character "ENG" by hand in order to switch to the input mode. When the character "ENG" is input, the pattern data match is detected and the character data is transferred from step Bo to step B1 and V. is written to,
In step 13go, register BK is transferred.

Then, the subsequently input delimiter is used in step E21.
1, and the process proceeds to step 840.

In step B40, it is determined whether the data held in register B is "engine", "J", or other data. I entered the character ``工'' as shown above.''
Shimadai proceeds from step B40 to step B41 and writes "0" indicating the English input mode to flag F1. Next, as shown in step B42, "0" is delivered to register B, and in step B43, the content "0" of flag F1 is written to register CIc. Then step B
3? Then, the contents of the register C are sent to the character generator 25, and pattern data of E-+J is generated and displayed on the display section 6. In this state, if you input the central word "B○OKJ", register B Ic is input in step Elso.
l1ll'i next time old, step BS? is displayed on the display section 6. Subsequently, when the delimiter "." is input, the process advances to step B40 via step B2s, where the internal bounds of register B are determined. At this time, register B contains data other than "ko", "r", "r", so
Proceeding from step B40 to step B44, flag F3
Write "1" to indicate the end of translation.

Next, in step B41+, it is determined whether the mode flag F is "0" or "1", but since the English input mode is "0" at this point, the process proceeds to step B46 to perform Japanese translation processing. That is, the CPU 15 VC sequentially retrieves English words from the English dictionary memory 24 and compares them with the input data held in the register B. When the match is detected, the translation address for the matching word is retrieved from the English dictionary memory 24, the Japanese dictionary memory 24 is accessed, the translated word "Hon" is read out, and the register CK is loaded. After completing the above translation process, proceed to step 13s'r,
As shown in FIG. 8, the a+Il translated word "Hon" is displayed on the display section 6.

Furthermore, when translating from Japanese to English, as shown in FIG. 8, the user inputs "Jo" immediately and switches to the English, latent input mode. When "Jo" is input, the delimiter symbol "." is input, and the process advances from step B□ to step 84G, where the contents of register B are analyzed. At this time, character data of "J" is written in register B, so step B4? Go to mode flag F
, write "1" to . After that, step B4! At step B43, "0" is written to register B, and at the same time, the content "1" of register F1 is written to register CK at step B43. Then, in step E3sy, the character generator 25 also generates pattern data of "E+J" and displays it on the display section 6. ai14 in the above condition
Translation Day 4 [Enter the word, for example "Hon", and then manually enter the delimiter symbol "・". By inputting this delimiter "・", step)3ts to step B40°B44
The process then proceeds to step B411, where the content of the mode flag F is determined. At this time, since the flag F1 is "1", the process advances to step 84M and English processing is performed. Sugawachi, the words are sequentially read from the Japanese dictionary memory 23 by the CPU.
15 and compares it with the input data held in register BK. When the match is detected, the corresponding word is retrieved from the tNilNil address dictionary memory 23, the English 1, j1 dictionary memory 24 is accessed, the translated word rBOOKJ is retrieved, and the translated word rBOOKJ is written into the register CK. After the above translation processing is completed, the process proceeds to step B3□, where ii[ll translation [BOOKJ] is displayed on the display unit 6 as shown in Figure 8.

In the above embodiment, if there are multiple translations, the translations may be scrolled at regular intervals, or the display may be switched by writing a specific symbol.

In addition, in the example 1i4 above, translation between English and Japanese was performed, but kana → kanji, #Matacho conversion, and tsu1'Z
QJ! ′, etc. Furthermore, al
Although the start of lliI translation was performed by writing down specific characters, it may also be started when a predetermined time has elapsed after inputting 11 words in writing.
Another switch may also be provided. Furthermore, a voice function may be added to generate translated phrases.

We have shown the case of recognizing kana characters, but can we also recognize other numbers, symbols, codes, kanji, etc. in the same stock?
4. Further, the structure of the detector is not limited to the above embodiment.
